Description
Hi!
if you clone the project in a directory where there is a space in the name
you have an error when you type:
CXX=g++ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib/
so you should clone to another directory

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by cloning the project into a directory whose path contains a space, then run CXX=g++ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib/. Start by tracing the ./configure entry point and its path handling. Done means configuration succeeds from a path containing spaces without requiring the project to be moved.
